Our Team
Parks Title is a recognized expert in providing fast and accurate title and settlement services throughout Michigan and Illinois. We pride ourselves in quality work and uncompromising professional ethics. Our experienced staff and multiple underwriters combine to create the Parks Title advantage when it comes to bringing your deal to the closing table…we meet your timeframe, period.
Our company was established in 1989 and renamed in 1992 when John Parks (1948-2010), Publisher of the Legal Advertiser, now the Detroit Legal News, acquired a three-year old title company and renamed it Parks Title. John’s nephew Pat Parks (1967-2010) partnered with Julie McKee to manage the dramatic growth of this customer-oriented company. The continued growth, commitment to quality work and excellent service will serve as Pat and John’s enduring legacy.
